Abstract

An exploratory study of combinations among environment behavior science, space syntax and interactive activities on campus is presented. To answer the reason why the public spaces on campus could not be used effectively as expected, the study focuses on the potential relationship between spatial configurations and interactions among associations in public spaces, two ways included: observations of activities and analysis of spatial configurations using space syntax methods. Based on stream-centered Network analysis methods, the data in the study shows the correlation between real activities and theoretic features of spatial configuration. As a result, it is proved that the difference in vitality of campus space origins from the difference in spatial configurations. Besides, the spatial shelter, vehicles occupation and visual fields of one space appear to make critical roles in vitality of public spaces.
